Biography of Qingwu

Chapter 38 Persuade to surrender
Wang An was furious when he got the news that the front line had retreated ten miles, and scolded Zhang Mo for being incompetent, cowardly, and unworthy of being a general.

"Yaying, you go in person, that Chen Qingwu, don't underestimate her!" Wang An said to Yaying who was on the side.

"Now King Anjing must have known that our intention is at the south gate, and we have had enough time to turn around. I'm afraid we will have to fight with real swords and guns. With equal forces, it is still a question of whether we can win." Yaying was a little worried.

Wang An cast his gaze over, "You haven't started fighting yet, why did you destroy your prestige first?"

Yaying ate, and nodded lightly. In this way, there is no opportunity for opportunism, and he can only fight head-to-head with real swords and guns. Even if Binzhou is captured, it will hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if the Xianzhou army is dead, as long as they kill King An Jing, they have completed the task.

Before Yaying could go out, a general came to meet him, General Pei Zhi from Chiziying, and when he entered the gate, he shouted, "The north gate of Xianzhou was attacked!"

Wang An slapped the table in shock and asked, "How many are they? Who leads the team?"

Pei Zhi said hesitantly: "About 2 people, led by... our Lord Marquis"

Wang An raised his eyebrows, "Your Lord Marquis has already rebelled, so I don't need to say more about what to do. Let me remind you, there is no good future for following rebellious ministers and thieves!"

He lowered his head even more, and said softly, "Understood." After speaking, he backed away.

Yaying said: "Our Xianzhou defense is empty, but we can't stop these 2 horses!"

Wang An said tentatively: "It doesn't matter if you can't stop it, leave someone here to direct the overall situation, try to contain Xu Wenjie as much as possible, I will go to Binzhou with you."

Yaying understood, nodded, and went out with Wang An.

At this time, Xu Wenjie and General Wang Shang were clamoring outside the city gate: "Zhao Huaining seeks to seize the throne and intends to kill Anjing King Zhao Huairou! The crimes are too numerous to record! Those who don't know about the Xianzhou Army, put down their weapons and surrender immediately!"

The soldiers on the tower looked at each other, not knowing who to believe, and a bold voice asked: "Your Majesty! General Zhang Mo is holding a military talisman, claiming that you conspired with King Anjing for rebellion! We don't know who is trustworthy !"

Xu Wenjie responded in a loud voice: "I have seen the secret letter written by the first emperor himself, and Zhao Huaining forced the palace to witness it. Don't you have any trust in me for many years?"

As the soldiers looked at each other, a middle-aged man went up to the city wall. Naturally, it was Li Cheng, who was sent by the imperial city. He stood in the middle of the city wall calmly, and shouted sharply: "The rebels always have to find a reason, King An Ning!" There was an imperial edict written by the first emperor when he ascended the throne, read by the empress dowager herself, and verified by all civil and military officials. Could it be that King Anjing made some bloody edict at will and could be overthrown by just looking for a witness? This is a frame! Xuhou, I advise you to put it down Weapons, surrender immediately, thinking that you were deceived by King Anjing, I can still plead with you in front of His Majesty."

Xu Wenjie retorted, "I have never been deceived by King Anjing. A few days ago, Wang Anhuo and Yaying threatened me to fail and wanted to kill me. King Anjing saved me. If Zhao Huaining has no ghosts in his heart, why bother to treat me?" I am going to kill, where are Wang An and Yaying, do you dare to ask them to come out and confront each other?"

The two sides argued their own reasons, and it was difficult for others to tell the truth from the false. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Li Cheng looked at the doubtful soldiers around him, and said, "Doesn't Xuhou want to suppress the border with [-] troops? Kill all the people here? Just do what you want, why make up these lies." Then he turned to the people gathered under the city wall and said, "Everyone! Your Lord Marquis has rebelled! Now he is at the gate of the city, ready to attack us , Everyone grab your weapons and prepare to fight to the death!"

Xu Wenjie almost lost his breath when he heard this, and even Wang Shang couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Li Cheng is really eloquent, and he is even more skilled than Wang An in turning black and white! It's a shame not to be Wang An's brother. When did I say that we were going to attack Xianzhou? Everyone in the city, The older ones have been with me for more than ten years, how can I swing the butcher knife at my brothers?" Xu Wenjie's voice suddenly raised a bit, "Brothers! Some have been with me for more than ten years, and the shortest It's been a year or two! Don't you guys know what kind of person this Marquis is? Today I'm bringing an army to suppress the border, just want to set things right and capture the rebels, so I won't hurt any brothers!"

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers were shaken one after another, and their weapons were loosened.

Li Cheng knew that Xu Wenjie had great prestige in the Xianzhou army, if compared to people's hearts, he must be inferior to Xu Wenjie, so he had to try his best to stabilize them.

At this time, Pei Zhi was dressed in a military uniform with a sharp sword on his waist, and hurriedly climbed up the city wall, glanced at Xu Wenjie and the dark army under the city gate, turned around and said to the soldiers and horses inside the city gate: "Brothers, I am a child!" Battalion General Pei Zhi, you all recognize me, right?"

With the arrival of his own people, the soldiers inside the city gate now have hope, hoping that he can come up with an idea in such a situation, and they all look at him expectantly as if they saw the backbone.

Pei Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Our Xianzhou army is Zhao's army. Naturally, we follow the emperor's order and act according to the emperor's order. Lord Yaying entered the city with a soldier's amulet, and it is His Majesty's order. How can we disobey and help each other?" A minister who plots treason, plotting treason is a serious crime against the Nine Clans!"

Xu Wenjie's eyes narrowed, and he raised his voice and said, "He knows who the treason is. Pei Zhi, do you think standing by Wang An's side can change your future? Don't dream, Wang An has not dared to show up for a long time. You can go and see if he has abandoned you? You are still here to persuade the brothers not to stand on the wrong team, so you should worry about yourself."

Pei Zhi swallowed. In terms of this form, he was standing on this side. He felt a little hasty at this moment, but once the words were spoken, they could not be taken back, so he simply took a gamble. "This is a plan to divide! Brothers, our Xianzhou army is a loyal and brave army. The one who is loyal is Zhao Guo, and the one who is loyal is His Majesty. Xu Hou has rebelled, and he is no longer worthy of the name of brave and loyal Marquis."

Before the words fell, Yu Huan and Liang Qian quietly climbed up the city wall from the other side at this time. Liang Qian was even more impulsive, taking advantage of Pei Zhi's unpreparedness, he suddenly kicked him to the ground, cursing Say loudly, "Betray your mother!"

Liang Qian dragged him up, and before Pei Zhi could resist, Liang Qian's subordinates all climbed up the city wall and rushed up, they had already prepared hemp ropes, and immediately tied Pei Zhi up.

"Bold!" Li Cheng yelled angrily. Before he could finish speaking, Yu Huan immediately drew out his sword and pointed it at him.

"What kind of thing are you? You dare to point fingers here." Yu Zhao raised his sword and slashed without giving him a chance to speak.

Li Cheng dodged in a hurry, and then he was squeezed by a large number of Wuwei camp troops. After a few moments of effort, he was tied up. After Li Cheng died, he shouted: "Li Cheng, the traitor, confuses the people with evil words, and intends to trap our Xianzhou army in a place of infidelity and injustice! I have been punished!"

Xu Wenjie smiled with satisfaction, Yu Huan and Liang Qian really did not feel ashamed of the importance they have attached to him for many years.

"I thought it would take a lot of trouble to seize Xianzhou, but I didn't expect Wang An to give up Xianzhou so easily. It really didn't take much effort." Wang Shang sighed.

Xu Wenjie patted him on the shoulder and said, "A person like Wang An doesn't have any friendship at all."

Under Yu Huan's shout, the soldiers in the city put down their weapons one after another, opened the city gate, and welcomed Xu Wenjie into the city.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wenjie didn't take a step forward, but just said: "Brothers, I have no intention of capturing Xianzhou, just to prevent you brothers from going astray. Our Xianzhou army is loyal to the benevolent and righteous king. If the reigning emperor wins His position is not right, his virtue is not worthy of being a king, so we don't need to be loyal to him!"

After Xu Wenjie finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to Binzhou.
